hello ho ho my name is brett and sometimes i wear a santa hat among other things merry christmas
i can't say christmas in july because i missed that deadline it's now august but that means it is
still plenty hot and this was probably the worst costume choice i could have chosen we're talking
about the gecko today not a new blaster but i did recently acquire one the gecko is designed
by ehdrian and this one in particular was printed and assembled by silver fox industries i purchased
the blaster myself along with a matching magazine but they did throw in one for a second option that
both match the blaster in different ways and before i go any further i'm going to take some of
this off because i'm dying this is the worst beard i've ever tried on in my life and it doesn't even
make me look like a pirate ow ehdrian designed this blaster to resemble the in-game model from
cyberpunk that is the lizzie obviously a very different color scheme than this but
that is the beauty of blasters i think he did an excellent job making this blaster come to life
of course this one is a bit more christmas-themed as you can tell from the aesthetic of this video
this also features a very special handle these are foxagons and if you can't see that well i'll throw
a picture of them up it is an offering from silver fox industries that is just a different kind
of handle scale they have their logo as well on the top right back here along with ehdrian's
little leaf and then it says gecko at the very top this blaster is of course magazine fed this
is the angled talon variant this proprietary magazine only takes 10 but the angled talons
do come in higher and lower capacities fits in through the grip and then it is a spring-powered
blaster so unfortunately you're not going to get semi-auto or automatic fire like you would
in a video game and it does prime from this front rather than a rear i don't know if i love
it or hate it i will say it does work nicely for this blaster because you can slam fire
so instead of going from the back and doing this you go from the front and you can slam fire in a
different way now that i'm saying it out loud i don't know if that's amazing it's just different
it works just fine though so you prime from the front reaches open loads of dart through close it
and now you're ready to fire a dart pop of course you can also just front load after you've primed
and a similar result will ensue i should mention that there are some different
trigger variants out there i believe this is the stock configuration but there are other options
if you're so inclined to choose from those now the magazine is also just
friction fit in the mag well so it's really easy to take one out and then put one back in
there is an option for other mag release styles like silver fox industries did send me recently
this mag release which would give it a little bit more of a tactile feeling
i've also seen some exterior mag release options i didn't install that yet because i was afraid i
would break the blaster before showing it off in a video it's not the highest performer out there
and this is one reason that some people might not recommend the gecko over other blasters
because there's been an explosion in this platform recently with the magazine fed through the grip
sidearm size package this is probably the lower performer of all of those but i chose
this blaster because i thought it looked pretty cool despite its shortcomings i found the accuracy
to be acceptable with the right darts of course and i really enjoyed using it in an arena style
game where even though i didn't have the highest capacity with just two 10 round magazines it was
really satisfying to use and i would definitely do it again hey take a look three two one go
that's one
can we get them all three can we not get three oh i just lost
i think it's wait that's is that game hey
game on
one two three four thirteen fourteen fifth are you playing
booty booty booty booty rocking everywhere
2 3 14 15. hi
no he's got range on me i'll just stay here no worries
reloaded
you got me you help me on that one
so the get-go listen up because 15 minutes could save you 15 or more on car insurance
it's got a very tactile and responsive trigger pull the chunky feel easy to reload magazines
and an aggressive silhouette oh let's talk about that really quickly i usually don't show off too
many blasters like this on my channel it is very realistic and that doesn't have to be a bad thing
i use this on a private field and my colors are obviously very christmas and bold but it's still
got that silhouette where if you get this in some very darker colors it might be mistaken as a real
firearm i would highly recommend buying into the video game aesthetic that is make it bold
make it bright make it loud because that's why we play with toys this is a kind of blaster that i
wouldn't recommend everyone go out and get because it is a bit pricier but i would recommend it to an
older audience that knows what it is and will play responsibly with it because it should be handled
and used in a responsible fashion and i don't think younger kids are going to totally understand
that that said it only also comes with half dirt so you gotta be aware of the half dart ecosystem
it's similar to this magpie that i showed off some time ago it's a very cool looking blaster
and people are like oh wow where do i get that and you're like um well it's over 180 bucks this
was a custom-made blaster by someone who knows what they're doing some very special prints it
comes together uniquely not the highest performer out there so more of a novelty piece i'd say the
gecko is a bit more useful than this super long barrel magpie your opinions will vary of course
i'd be lying if i said i didn't find this very fun but i'm probably not going to be bringing
this to my next public game whenever that happens to be i look forward to more iterations of this
in the future or more of what adrian's going to be doing thank you again silver fox industries for
helping me to create a very unique gecko color scheme they did not tell me they were going to
be throwing some red on here thank you everyone so much for watching let me know in the comment
section what do you find the most appealing blaster of this nature these days because
there are just so many options from like dart zones offerings to community blasters i'll see
you in the next one with a lot less christmas flair because it's too hot for this way too hot
